GIF Fest at Blk 7, Gillman Barracks

October 5 - 11, 12pm to 10pm

An exhibition to celebrate one of the best products of the Internet, the humble gif (pronounced ‘jif’. Anyone who says otherwise is just wrong), the GIF Fest will shine the spotlight on over 50 locally-designed gifs.

There will also be a gif-making workshop for kids aged five and above, because it's important to get them started early on important things like this, and a talk on how we can harness the supreme power of the gif.

Because gifs are amazing, guys. via GIPHY
